On entry to the church path, very visible on the original tower is a keyhole window. Set in a picturesque setting, this delightful church has the remains of a Saxon cross very close to the south facing door as well as having features of Norman arches. Another very interesting feature are the two upside down faces carved out on one of the pillars. There is graffiti dating between 11th and 13th century as well as other interesting features. Closed Saturday 12noon-1.30pm.

A very different Georgian-style church with medieval tower and magnificent interior, with a copy of Da Vinci’s The Last Supper behind the altar. The organ is a three-manual Walker (1906). 

See also the beautiful stained glass, late 17th century marble font and memorial headstone of Richard Rollett, master sailmaker to Captain James Cook on HMS The Resolution, who died two hundred years ago in 1824. Guided visits into the Bell Tower.

Corringham • St Laurence

There has been a church on this site well over 1,000 years older than the British monarchy. It is 140 years since Bodley & Garner spread gold dust and beautified this Grade I church paid for by Mary Beckett. The parish registers will be made available. 

Come and see the stone coffin found under the altar in 1883/84. 

We shall have a churchyard tour weather permitting. 

The refreshments and lunches are Michelin star quality! 

A warm welcome awaits you.

Our church also has a beautifully restored Bodley Ceiling.

Blyton • St Martin

Photo: Ashley Taylor, Push Creativity*

Blyton church has an impressive display of the flags of the allies in WWI. They hang above arcades 6 and 7 centuries old. The chancel, although much rebuilt last century, has its original East window of about 1300, its old piscina and aumbry and a 15th century window and part of the old rood beam is still over the arch. The font, with carved panels and embattled top, is a handsome example of 15th century craftsmanship.
